40: Chapter 40 The Nine Nether Beast is Ferocious, I'm Having a Buffet at the Heaven-Mending Pavilion

"Caw—!!!"

Although the Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow had half his neck bitten off by Wang Teng in a single snap, as an elite among the Ancient Remains, his vitality was tenacious to the extreme.

Using the force of Wang Teng's throw, he flapped his wings frantically, instantly retreating several thousand zhang. While coughing up mouthfuls of blood, those sinister eyes of his almost spewed fire.

He was a dignified Venerable! The Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow, whose name stopped children from crying in the Great Wilderness!

Today, in front of everyone, he had actually been bitten like a roast chicken by some black dog (which he perceived as a Nine-Nether Ao) that had popped out of nowhere?

Humiliation! This was a humiliation etched into his very bones!

"Bastard! You bastard!!"

The Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow roared in the sky, his feathers bristling all over his body. His originally gray-brown torso ignited with black demonic fire due to his extreme rage, forcefully stopping the blood gushing from his neck.

"Who exactly are you?! How dare you meddle in the affairs of us four great beings!!"

Although he was furious, he was not stupid.

From that last clash, he had already sensed that the opponent's physical strength was simply terrifying and unreasonable.

Fighting one-on-one, in his current state, he would definitely be torn alive by this black giant beast.

Thus, his resentful eyes swept fiercely toward the other side of the battlefield, and he let out a sharp, ear-piercing cry for help:

"Qiongqi! Are you still watching the show?!"

"This beast came from the direction of the Fire Kingdom, and his strength is no less than yours or mine!

If I fall, don't even think about swallowing the fortune of this Butian Pavilion all by yourself!!"

"Roar—!!"

As if in response to the Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow's call, on the other side of the Butian Pavilion's mountain gate, two blood-colored beast eyes, like red lanterns, suddenly lit up amidst the sky full of black clouds.

Immediately following, a tragic baleful aura rushed toward them—a tangible killing intent that could only be condensed after slaughtering tens of millions of living beings.

"Trash, you can't even handle a guard dog; you've really lost face for us Ancient Remains."

A low, hoarse, mocking voice sounded.

Subsequently, a colossus, whose size was not inferior to the Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow, stepped out treading on red clouds that looked like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

He was extremely strange and ferocious in appearance, shaped like a fierce tiger but born with a pair of huge, fleshy wings, his whole body covered in cyan fur like steel needles.

He bared his fangs, fed on humans, and specialized in evil deeds; he was none other than one of the Four Fiends of the Great Wilderness—Qiongqi!

Although Qiongqi mocked him with his words, his eyes stared extremely solemnly at Wang Teng, who was blocking the mountain gate.

As a ferocious beast, his intuition was sharper than the Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow's.

From this black giant beast, he smelled a sense of high-level suppression that made his very bloodline tremble.

That was... the kingly aura belonging to the Ten Fiends!

"What, are you afraid?"

The Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow flew back, clutching his neck, and formed a pincer formation with Qiongqi, locking onto Wang Teng tightly.

He knew that relying solely on the two of them as Venerables, facing this monster that was in its prime and even somewhat eerie, the odds of winning were still not secure.

Thus, the Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow suddenly raised his head.

He looked toward the golden ball of light hanging in the clouds above the nine heavens, overlooking all living beings like a god.

There, a blurry figure sat cross-legged.

His whole body was surrounded by golden divine flames; that was the mark of someone who had ignited the Divine Fire!

Although he was only a pseudo-god, in the Eight Regions of the Lower Realm, this represented invincibility and represented the will of heaven!

That was an ancient senior from the Nanyun Divine Mountain, the true anchor for this siege on the Butian Pavilion!

"Senior! Please strike!!"

The Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow set aside the airs of a Venerable and shouted shrilly at the golden light:

"This evil beast's origins are unknown, and he carries the power of a Great Fiend; he is clearly an outside helper invited by the Butian Pavilion!

If we don't eliminate him, today's plan to divide the Butian Pavilion's treasury will be ruined!

The divine seed left by that old vine will also be snatched away by him, Senior!!"

Hearing the words "divine seed," the golden light high above, which had originally been without any waves, finally trembled slightly.

"Hmph."

A cold snort, though light, exploded in everyone's ears like thunder.

"Variables... must be executed."

The existence within the golden light spoke.

He slowly extended a hand, and within his palm, a golden rune was pulsating.

It emitted divine fluctuations capable of burning the firmament, clearly preparing to deliver a fatal blow to Wang Teng at any moment.

Facing the pincer attack of two Venerable ferocious beasts and the lock-on from the Divine Fire Realm powerhouse above, within the Butian Pavilion, the elders and disciples, who had originally felt a glimmer of hope because of Wang Teng's appearance, felt their hearts sink to the bottom of the valley once again.

"Heaven is destroying my Butian Pavilion…"

"Although this black giant beast is strong, how can he possibly block so many powerful enemies?"

However.

As the person involved, Wang Teng, at this moment, made an action that no one expected.

"Slurp…"

In that deathly silence of the standoff, an extremely clear sound of swallowing saliva came from the mouth of that black giant beast.

Wang Teng's huge wolf head tilted slightly, and there was not a trace of fear in his three eyes; on the contrary… they were shining.

That was the gleam in a diner's eyes when seeing a full-course feast.

"A mongrel chicken (Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow)."

Wang Teng's gaze swept over the Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow and commented:

"The meat is a bit tough; I tasted a bite just now, the texture is average, suitable for stewing soup."

Subsequently, his gaze fell on Qiongqi, who had just appeared, and the light in his eyes instantly brightened by several degrees:

"Oh? A tiger? This is good stuff!"

"A tiger with wings, the meat is firm and rich in collagen.

Whether braised, grilled, or made into tiger bone wine, it's the absolute best of the best!"

Finally, he even looked up at the powerhouse from the Nanyun Divine Mountain in the sky who had ignited the Divine Fire.

The corners of his mouth split into an exaggerated arc, revealing a mouthful of stark white fangs:

"As for that one in the sky… the heat should be just right for roasting, he comes with his own fuel."

"Arrogant!!"

Qiongqi was furious. He had roamed the Great Wilderness for so many years; it had always been him eating people. When had he ever been commented on as an ingredient?

"You're at death's door and you still dare to talk tough! Today, I will tear you to pieces and feed you to the dogs!!"

"Feed to the dogs?"

Wang Teng acted as if he had heard some joke, and the black mist all over his body surged violently.

That aura of the extreme realm, having just broken through the peak of the Venerable, no longer held back in the slightest and erupted with a boom!

"I am the biggest 'vicious dog' in this world!!"

"I was originally thinking that it would be a bit embarrassing to go back empty-handed on my wedding day.

I didn't expect that as soon as I arrived at the door, you all would be so polite, actively washing yourselves clean and delivering yourselves to my doorstep."

Wang Teng's four limbs gripped the ground fiercely, grinding the hard mountain rock into powder.

His body leaned back slightly, assuming a pouncing posture.

His voice, filled with a hair-raising excitement and greed, resonated across the entire battlefield:

"Little ones, everyone watch closely for this seat!!"

"Today, right here at the Butian Pavilion…"

"I'm! Eating! A! Buffet!!"

"Boom—!!"

Before the words had even faded, Wang Teng's figure had already vanished from where he stood.

Too fast!

So fast that even a ferocious beast like Qiongqi, who excelled in speed, only saw a black afterimage.

The next moment.

"Awoo—!!"

There was no flashy exchange of precious techniques.

Wang Teng's massive body was directly mounted on Qiongqi's back!

Those two forepaws, wreathed in Nine Nether Hell Mist, pressed down firmly on Qiongqi's pair of proud, fleshy wings.

It was just like pinning down a little chick waiting to be slaughtered.

"Let's start with a pair of 'spicy grilled wings' to whet the appetite!!"

"Rip—!!!"

Accompanied by Qiongqi's earth-shaking scream, Wang Teng actually forcibly… tore off one of Qiongqi's huge fleshy wings, skin and bone included!

Blood gushed like a waterfall, staining the Butian Pavilion's mountain gate red.

"Aooo—!!!"

Qiongqi's extremely shrill wail was even more ear-piercing than the most vicious curse.

It pierced through the clouds, shaking the Butian Pavilion's mountain-protecting formation until it hummed.

His massive, mountain-like tiger body twisted and struggled frantically.

The remaining three sharp claws plowed deep, bottomless ravines into the ground, attempting to flip over this terrifying mountain on his back.

However, it was to no avail.

The Nine-Nether Ao that Wang Teng had transformed into was, at this moment, like an ancient demonic mountain cast from divine metal, suppressing him firmly.

No matter how much Qiongqi unleashed the baleful aura of a ferocious beast from within his body, that black giant claw pressing on his spine did not budge an inch.

"Gulp…"

Wang Teng, with that huge, dripping-with-blood fleshy wing in his mouth, rolled his throat.

He actually, in front of tens of thousands of living beings, forcibly tore off a large chunk of raw meat and swallowed it.

"Hmm, a bit old, but the chewiness is alright, and the fire is quite strong."

While chewing, he let out a hair-raising commentary.

In those dark golden eyes, there was nothing but the joy and cruelty of feeding.

For the people of the Butian Pavilion, this scene was a shock of finding life in a desperate situation.

But for the Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow on the other side, this was simply a nightmare from which he could not wake up!
